• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the Attorney General is missing the point. The point is that the law specifies it is seven days. The law creates a window for you to take advantage of that window so that the process can continue moving. The Minister---- If hon. Mbadi is right that the report was given to the Minister on 20th of April, 2012, it means that the Minister has already lost his seven days. So, it is now up to the Chair to decide whether he wants to take advantage and be seen to be respecting the law or, you ... view

• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am rising on a point of order to request the Chair to give a directive on how we want to proceed with this very important matter of electing Members of EALA. view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am doing it now and not tomorrow, when the Motion will be before us, because the issues I want to raise are time bound. They should happen before those names that we are going to be voting on will be brought to the House. view

• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Section 6(2) puts a very high standard that the names we take to the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) must capture political party interest, regional balance, shades of opinion, gender issues and special interest groups, and especially provides that we must have one-third of the nominees being women. The weight of this matter is such that the Constitution of Kenya goes ahead in Article 56(a) and talks about what we are doing, where it is trying to safeguard the interests of the minority and marginalized groups. In Article 100 of our Constitution, again, this matter ... view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order No.98 and move that hon. (Prof.) Ongeri be named. view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. For the information of the Prime Minister, I have a document here that shows how the ballot will be tomorrow. The ballot is telling us that Sarah Bonaya will have no competition. We will vote “Yes” or “No”; the reason being that the PNU side of his Government is trying to protect the interest of KANU.
